I have recently gotten into using Ubuntu but upon reading on it i found out they have built in spyware and aren't following all of the GLU rules to a T. So I'm wondering what other distro is good to us.

Ubuntu is good. Mint is good for older hardware.

What do you want from a distro? I personally use Porteus which is made to be placed on a USB, which is useful for me since I use it as a 'just in case' OS

I like Debian distros personally, I've used Ubuntu, Kali, and Stonegate.

The projects never end in my line of work.

Possibly OpenSuse?

I have not used Linux a whole lot, I should do it some time..

I prefer Linux Mint. The user interface is more traditional and more similar to Windows. Is lighter too. http://linuxmint.com/
